So I'm curious as to what you think would be suiting species to use for chess pieces. One thing to note though is the knight does not have to be a horse. It can be a different species on its own, or a knight riding a mount (equine or not). To get some variety at first, let's settle two rules:
-One chess piece + species per person
=You can comment a species or chess piece already mentioned
This thread is just for fun. After a week or so I might revoke rule 1, depending on the activity here
